Private lenders or even creating a small syndicate with a group of investors might also be worth exploring, especially since you can point to your uncle’s track record and your own experience managing rentals as a selling point.If timing is tight, you could look into a bridge loan to secure the property while figuring out a more permanent solution.

@Shawn Mixundefined I agree Kirstin, Anderson isn't cheap but I feel much more confident and secure with them on my side.

I believed I was putting that hard-earned money into something secure.

If I am doing the security deposit I want to quickly see how old that carpet or paint is.

You could get a broker dealer but expect to pay 5-10% in commissions for every dollar raised.

If you mean security backed by collateral, you are correct.

If you could see that the population growth was increasing, then you could invest with some security. 

While the co-signers add some security, the family’s newness to the U.S. and uncertain job situation make them a higher risk overall. 

For example, I have a main account that is for my holding company, sub-accounts for each property, and sub-sub accounts for security deposits and things like CapEx for each property.
